Shiraz Allidina (attribution corrected) creates a nice indicator of over-leverage in commercial real estate.

He uses the Federal Flow of Funds to look at Commercial Real Estate Loans Outstanding as a fraction of GDP. When the share goes well above the long term mean, bad stuff in commercial real estate seems to ensue.

Hi
This is Kristine Sauze. I recently visited your blog and found quiet complementary contents in it. I also have some good sites and blog from where I want to share a link in your blog. If you do agree then I want to post an article about "mortgage" from where I would link my site. Hope you like my opinion. Please revert me back in kristinesauze@gmail.com or come for a live chat with me. Hoping a positive response from your side.

Thanks

Kristine Sauze

As prices went up, debt went up with it. Now there is too much debt to service with rental income. Japan did something similar with their CRE in 1990, and the debt could not be repaid in a timely fashion.

Too much electronic printing drove CRE prices too high. It would have been better to just let CPI prices go down at the rate of productivity increases. Confiscating the productivity increase, and recycling it into so much debt was a bad idea.

The Notorious B.I.G. said it best:

Mo Money, Mo Problems.

This was a credit/price bubble straight from the Kindleberger/Minsky model.

I've just recently bought Mt4 Protect and wanted to tell you guys about my experience with it.
I was worried about all the Metatrader 4 Malware out there at the moment as I heard you can get them from downloading EA's from the web.
While I don't download decompiled EA's the last thing I want is some hacker getting my account details and draining my trading account as I have built it up into quite a bit of $$$. That's why I purchased MT4 protect so it can stop my account from getting attacked. I think the price is well worth the protection I will receive
I purchased a copy at [url=http://www.mt4protect.com/] www.mt4protect.com [/url] via paypal and my product code was sent to me within 4 hours.
I installed it and its awesome! It works in the system tray and scans my computer in real time to detect any attacks.
The EA optimization tool is so great - you can allocate more memory to your MT4 terminal so your trades get executed faster! There are also heaps of registry tweaks and cleanup features that have tuned up my Windows 2000 PC.
With hackers and virus attacks hitting Forex traders all the time now I definitely think that MT4 Protect is a worthwhile investment.

So far thousands if not hundreds of thousand Singaporean had complained about housing policy and instead review his own policy, he is pointing the 'GUN' to WP as irresponsible. I think Mr Mah should have a self-reflection and not living in his own world.Lasix Generic
